Sleeve Notes


'An issue of the first importance. It unquestionably merits a place in every serious record collection' (Gramophone)

'Vast tracts of glorious sound' (The Times)

'These reissues epitomise the qualities that make The Sixteen one of Britain's outstanding choral groups: distilled purity of sound: impeccable ensemble and intonation; long-breathed lines. Harry Christophers takes an introspective view of Taverner's monumental Missa Gloria tibi Trinitas, producing a performance of untrammelled serenity' (BBC Music Magazine)

'Marvellous music…well worth reissuing' (Early Music Review)
